Alan Rickman
Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.
Alan Rickman
I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.
Alan Rickman
Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.
Alan Rickman
Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.
Alan Rickman
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Alan Rickman
